Pioneer Elite VSX-59TXi. Check the reviews from 2002 or so. One of the best and most respected AVR's ever made. Many still in use as a pre-amp. I owned the 29, 39, 49 and 59 series during the 90's and up to 2008. Now I own a Pioneer Elite VSX-92TXVI with HDMI, Apple Conn, XM radio, new codecs etc... Highly recommended.
Best 5.1 ONLY receiver every made?
Hi everyone!
I am curious to get your opinions about what the best used 5.1 receiver is. I had a 7.1 one setup about four years ago, but eventually left surround sound for a stereo setup. Now that I have space for both I am considering venturing back into surround sound.
So my question is... who made the biggest, baddest, and best sounding 5.1 receiver in the past that would now be a great buy on the used market? I see some of the new flagship receivers from Yamaha and Denon are pretty monstrous, did they have 5.1 counterparts back in the day?
Thanks for your thoughts,
JML
